If you subscribe to the "the timber makes no difference" school of thought then it'll make no difference.
If you don't, then it'll make a difference, but it'll still sound like an electric guitar.
Thus fine either way.
Apart from the Mateus Rose thing.
Funny that Warmoth felt unable to e-mail me to check prior to despatch.
As it turned out, mahogany was fine.
Tone spectrum wise a bit of EQ should sort it out, also there's a difference in the attack, note formation, with different woods & densities but it'll be fine. It'll clang like a proper drinking man's Tele with the steel bridge & suspended pickup so all good. I've a shot-to-hell pine table with gouges & fire marks from a drunken evening, reckon there's two maybe three Teles in that, so hopefully doing similar-ish some time. Crack on : )
I absolutely love it.
The EMGs had been swapped for DiMarzio Transitions, which with the 5 way selector makes it a very versatile guitar perfect for rock & indie covers.
I have no idea what music you intend to play and your ear may be much better than mine, but of you intend to play rock then I don't think you have any worries.
As @Corvus said nothing a bit of EQ won't sort out.
Best of luck
Not a fan of 'hog necks, never found them to be as stable as maple and for bolt on purposes I'd have concern that the neck screw threads wouldn't be particularly robust, I'd certainly not be wanting to take the neck off and on too many times.
Someone who who actually makes guitars may well tell me I'm talking bollocks, which is fine.
@dindude is correct about the bolt on neck - it will need a little more support than a maple neck - something like threaded inserts. The threads in mahogany won't stand up to being taken off and on the same way maple would. they would probably crumble on the 3rd go
I would also would say to either go for through body stringing, or extra long bridge screws so its firmly in the mahogany ... Pine doesn't hold a screw as well as mahogany. You won;t need to remove this as often as a neck and the tensions are quite different so it will be fine with longer screws, doesn;t need inserts like the neck would

How could you possibly even consider not putting a P90 in the neck position?
It sounds like it would be great actually. (Although still better with a P90.)

(give it a year and it may get p90'd!)
It will sound different anyway, if your other Tele has a maple neck. There's just something about P90s and all-mahogany guitars which is 'right'.
If you do insist on fitting a Tele neck pickup , and it sounds too muddy (which it might in an all-mahogany guitar), disconnect the cover from ground - that makes quite a big difference, and makes it more like a Strat neck pickup.
